The invention relates to an irradiating device, especially for irradiating with ultraviolet light substrates which are provided with a coating that can be cured using ultraviolet light. The inventive device comprises a longitudinally extending radiation source ( ) which is provided for emitting ultraviolet and/or visible electromagnetic radiation, which is arranged in a housing ( ) between a reflector ( ) and a housing opening ( ) that can be aligned with an object ( ) to be irradiated, and which is preferably configured as a tubular mercury discharge lamp. The inventive device also comprises a cooling system ( ) for dissipating the waste heat generated by the radiation source ( ). The aim of the invention is to create a compact modular construction and, optionally, an oxygen-reduced illumination zone. To this end, the invention provides that the cooling system ( ) has a cooling circuit ( ) arranged inside the housing ( ) and which effects a circulatory cooling of the radiation source ( ) by means of a force-conveyed, optionally oxygen-reduced cooling gas steam ( ).
